Grants
6. Grant Payments
6.1 Plan your cashflow.
- You may have to wait to be reimbursed, so you may need to make arrangements for a bridging loan.
6.2 Grant money is generally handed over according to an agreed schedule. Payments may be made:
- In instalments, at fixed periods.
- In arrears, against proof of actual expenditure.
- With some payments up front, and the rest as you meet the stipulated requirements at each stage. For example, a payment might be conditional on the project employing a certain number of people.
6.3 Keep detailed records. The grant providers will want to monitor how the money is being used.
- This may involve visits to your premises, or you may have to visit them to present a report.
- There may be a final audit before you are given the last payment.
